...........................................................

The explanations in plain Chinese and English.

(01) 天上的浮雲, 整日不停地飄盪著,
The cloud has been drifting in the sky all day long,
(02) 你這遊子啊! 卻已很久不曾到我這裡了.
You, the wanderer, have not been to my place for a long time.
(03) 近來, 接連有三個晚上, 頻頻地夢見你.
Recently, I dreamed about you for three nights consequently,
(04) 你對我很親切, 可以看得出你對我情誼的深厚.
You were very intimating to me as if I were not in sleep.

(05) 但是你每次總那樣匆促不安地就向我告辭,
But every time we met you were in a hurry to leave me,
(06) 苦切地說: "來這裡一趟不容易"!
By saying that "This is not the place to tell you my trouble".
(07) 你走出門時, 還不停地搔著滿頭的白髮,
When you left my house you kept scratching the white hair on your head,
(08) 好像違負了一生的意志.
As if you had violated the will of your whole life.

(09) 沿途的江流湖泊, 到處都會遇上狂風巨浪,
On the journey in river or lake one may meet storms,
(10) 在船上恐怕有翻落的危險啊!
The boat may be in danger of overturning!
(11) 唉! 如今整個京城之中, 到處都是顯貴得意的人,
Alas! Nowadays the capital is teeming with officious people.
(12) 而你呀! 你卻獨自那樣的潦倒憔悴.
Only you alone are frustrated and wan and sallow.

(13) 誰說天理是寬大的呢!
Who says that heavenly principles are magnanimous!
(14) 為什麼讓你這種人, 在即將老去之時, 反而受到如此的苦難!
Why Heaven allows people like your kind to grow old and becoming helpless
and poor!
(15) 啊! 那流傳千秋萬歲的不朽聲名,
Oh! those reputation of names, that would not be rotten, last forever and
ever,
(16) 往往都是在一個偉人寂寞地身死之後, 才能享有的吧!
They could only come about after the death of the lonely great men.

Notes:
[*1A] 遊子
遠遊的人

[*2B] 冠蓋
戴冠張蓋, 用稱做官的人

[*3C] 斯人
俗言這個人=是指李白

[*4D] 憔悴
困苦

[*5E] 天網恢恢
是天理寬大的意思

[*6F] 身後
死了以後
